Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Beef chuck roast
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 0.333 cup Soy sauce
- 1 large Onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 French rolls or hoagie buns
- 6 slices Provolone cheese (optional)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and place it in the crock pot.
Peel and slice the onion into thin slices, and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, soy sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and black pepper into the crock pot.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until the beef is tender and easy to shred.
Once the beef is cooked, use two forks to shred the meat directly in the crock pot. Stir to distribute the juices.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Split the French rolls or hoagie buns in half lengthwise and optionally add a slice of provolone cheese to the bottom half of each roll.
Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the rolls are warm.
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, pile the shredded beef onto each roll. If desired, spoon some of the cooked onions on top of the beef.
Ladle the cooking liquid (au jus) from the crock pot into small serving bowls for dipping.
Serve the French Dip Sandwiches warm with the dipping bowls of au jus on the side.
